The story behind the film version of Clive Barker's Nightbreed is legendary. The studio cut Barker's finished version to fashion it into a standard slasher film, and the film did poorly at the box office.
The cut footage was discovered in a closet in Barker's home a few years ago, along with other unused footage. Barker's staff reassembled the film and the restored version has been making convention and festival appearances since then, to fabulous acclaim.
I recently had the great fortune to see the restored film at a festival, and posted about it in the last seen film thread. Needless to say, I was blown away.
Now, here comes this truly wonderful news!
